What’s New in Solid Edge ST10 Portfolio

The Solid Edge ST10 portfolio of products from Siemens brings every aspect of your product development to the next level. It gives you the very latest in next generation design technologies, fully integrated flow analysis, the newest tools for 3D printing and more options for creating technical publications. You’ll have perfect control of design data at any scale, along with a brand new way to collaborate securely on the cloud.

Model scaling: Models can be scaled up or down, uniformly or non-uniformly, in preparation for conceptual prototype design and 3D printing, and accounting for shrinkage in mold design.

Free hand sketching (Draw command): Mobile design is advanced via the introduction of Microsoft Inking technology for freehand sketching within the Solid Edge Draw command. When working with a Surface device, pen strokes are converted to analytical sketches on the fly, truly making the tablet a “digital napkin.”

Assembly

Assembly feature and relationship suppression variables: Solid Edge ST10 provides the ability to programmatically assign suppression variables to individual assembly features and relations, speeding modification during assembly edits. From there, the variable table can be used to tie suppression states to logical functions.

Assembly clones: Modeling productivity is greatly enhanced by component cloning, automating the duplication of single parts or subassemblies across an entire top-level assembly. Each clone can be oriented as needed. Relations associated with the component(s) will be duplicated when similar reference geometry exists, or will be repaired if necessary.

3D printing with cloud services: Now you can upload your model to the embedded 3YOURMIND cloud printing service, which provides options for materials and costing from printing services across the globe.

A new bundle of CAM Express 2.5-axis machining together with Solid Edge is available that significantly reduces the cost of adding both CAD and CAM capabilities.

SimulationSolid Edge Flow Simulation is a fully embedded and intuitive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis tool that provides a wide range of users with valuable insight into product behavior from the beginning of the design cycle. The tight integration between native Solid Edge geometry and simulation data makes certain that all changes are synchronized, resulting in optimized product performance and reliability earlier in the product development process.

Built-in data managementBuilt-in data management capabilities are enhanced with even easier setup and administration, and improvements in the user interface help speed completion of everyday tasks and reduce errors in the design process. Notification of the availability of newer revisions, improved tools to find and replace duplicate files, and automatic copying of drawings during “Save As” operations are just of few of the many enhancements.

Teamcenter integration for Solid EdgeMore work processes are now supported for Solid Edge customers using Teamcenter® software. Users can work offline and then synchronize the changes they have made to Teamcenter, and a new “Save New to Existing” command allows users to associate new Solid Edge files with existing Teamcenter items. Classification of parts is supported through the embedded Active Workspace interface. Many user interface improvements including the ability to directly open associated draft files, validation of user input before submitting data and docking panes in the “Open File” dialog further improve efficiency and reduce the possibility of errors. New bundles of Solid Edge with Teamcenter provide great value for customers moving towards becoming a digital enterprise.

Solid Edge Portal

The Solid Edge Portal is a new way for manufacturers to securely collaborate around their design projects, both internally and externally. Upload your CAD files to cloud-based project folders, and view these files using any browser. Invite users from other departments or from external organizations including suppliers and customers to collaborate with you.

Hopefully it's not. ST9 came out before SEU2016 with the thought that users could work with it ahead of time.

I really hope SEU2017 is going to happen. I feel the past SEUs over the past few years were a big part of getting the Solid Edge name back out in the market place and re-igniting the excitement for Solid Edge.

If SEU2017 is cancelled, I strongly believe it would be a huge mistake.

That's great news! I look forward to SEU every year since it provides an opportunity to not only to gain in-depth knowledge about features in Solid Edge, but more importantly meet the Solid Edge team and other users.
